Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Villa Luciérnaga

For the families who vacation together. Five bedrooms, a bunk room sleeping nine children, and space for up to 19 guests — perched above Tamarindo's Pacific coast, just a seven-minute walk to the beach.

The Property

Where Every Detail Is Made by Hand

Great room at Villa Luciérnaga — Abraham Valenzuela's large-scale canvas, copper monstera leaf wall art, colorful light niches, and woven arabesque ceiling

An Architect's Vision

Designed by Abraham Valenzuela — one of Costa Rica's most distinguished architects, known for the country's most celebrated private residences. Every ceiling in the villa is his invention. Every corridor reveals another handmade detail. Nothing is ordinary.

Covered pool terrace at Villa Luciérnaga — outdoor seating, open-air kitchen, and Tamarindo Bay stretching to the Pacific horizon

Indoor-Outdoor Living

An infinity pool, jacuzzi, fire pit terrace, full outdoor bar, massage alcove, and natural grass lawn — each a distinct space, all connected by garden paths and the constant presence of the Pacific below.

Bunk room at Villa Luciérnaga — three bunk units sleeping nine children, driftwood chandelier, and direct Pacific views through floor-to-ceiling glass

Room for Every Generation

Two equally-appointed primary suites — no hierarchy between couples. A bunk room sleeping nine children in their own world. Five bedrooms, nineteen guests total, every one of them with Pacific views.

Designed for Groups

The Villa Where Nobody Has to Compromise

Two equally-appointed primary suites mean both couples get the master — each suite its own design, neither subordinate to the other. A dedicated bunk room gives nine children their own world, complete with ocean views and an ensuite with a soaking tub. Multiple independent living areas mean nineteen people can share a home without ever feeling crowded.

This is what Villa Luciérnaga was built for — not just accommodating large groups, but making multi-family travel genuinely work.
